What’s that huge box in the rear seat photo?
Looks like a huge heater or a pommel-horse?

Being a military rig I’d say generator of sorts. Or a pommel

Good question. I will have to get my translator app out and see if it says.What’s that huge box in the rear seat photo?

@Indygbd Gabe, awesome, historic documents, worthy of a very hefty vault.
I'm tying to unravel the mystery of the correct tools for 1955 -56 FJ25 vehicles. Have you (or anyone else who is reading this) ever laid eyes on a roll/box and tools that definitively originated from a 55-56 FJ25? I have the tool pages from that 1956 BJ25 parts catalog which shows the tools and steel TEQ box, but I would think the FJ2X would have had canvas. I've never seen any FJ25 documents which solve the riddle. Guessing the tools to the BJ25 and FJ25 are similar, with the exception of the spark plug wrench. Does that FJ21 / 28 / 24 manual have any reference to in-vehicle tools? Might be a clue to what was in the 25.

Wow! That’s amazing, I haven’t seen that one before. can you make a scan of that?
A BJ25 is not a diesel. The 50’s B engine is a gas engine. The predecessor of the F engine.

Yes, gasoline, but potentially different diameter plug. The first pic below is a tool kit page from a 1956 BJ25 parts catalog, so we know the plug for the B engine of that year was 16mm. I'm not certain if the F engine was 16mm or 21mm (20.6mm). The second pic is a Nov 1957 FJ28 parts catalog which shows a 21mm spark plug wrench. So wondering if the 1955-56 F engine had the 16mm or 21mm. I'm attempting to accumulate the correct tools for the earliest of Land Cruisers (potentially the BJ Jeep as well). Tall order, but a guy has to have goals, right?
One thing I've never seen is the straight-body grease gun RK91710 and the RK91750 nozzle in the first pic. If anyone happens to have those, would love to gawk at some pictures.
